Our 9-1-1 dispatchers, law enforcement officers and first responders are our first call when things go wrong, but they often respond to calls with little information about the mental health of those they’re trying to help. To help our police, firefighters
and dispatchers be better equipped to respond to emergency situations, we are introducing the Mental Health Training Enhancement for First Responders Act to provide resources to local first responders for mental health response training programs.

I am writing to ask that you join me in support of the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF). The CESCF is a critical resource that provides competitive grant funding for regional Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) that support voluntary
species conservation initiatives. These funds are used for programs that facilitate economic development and job creation through coordinated permitting for projects related to transportation, energy, and water delivery.
